19.10 and android mount : no such inteface org.gtk.vfs.Mount

  • 772

I have installed gmtp:amd64 and jmtpfs:amd64 and on connecting via USB and granting access from the phone get error dialog:

No such interface "org.gtk.vfs.Mount" on object at path /org/gtk/vfs/mount/1

I usually transfer files via wifi but my wifi is broken and won't be replaced for a week.

I have tried bluetooth but I have issues there I'll put to another question.

android

  1. There are several possible solutions:

    1. Install MTP Tools via the command line. There are command line instructions online you can find for that.
    2. Or, Download Android File Transfer (MTP) off of Software Packages. You can't launch the program itself because it contradicts other MTP programs, but it still solved the issue for me. Beats me why. 0_o
    3. And if that doesn't work, you can enable your phone to automatically connect to any USB device. This was disabled in more recent Android versions for security reasons, and though it's a good idea, I've often found that my phone will randomly disconnect from my device, so I'll have to grant permission over and over again on my cell phone screen. Very annoying. You can enable an automatic USB connection by enabling the Developer Options in Android Settings (which is different for each manufacturer and model)- then by going to USB options.
